Crash when closing document

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS
1

Lately, I’ve run into a problem where if I have two Scrivener files open and close one of them, after backing up, Scrivener crashes.

Here’s the log report:

Which OS X version are you running?

Got the latest build of Scrivener?

I’m running the latest version of Scrivener, 2.6, on OSX 10.10.4.

It looks like you might have some old plug-ins installed on your computer. I’m not sure if that is related to the problem, but these most certainly can cause instability in the software you use. One hint is the reference to “CGContextErase”, something that Scrivener itself doesn’t do, so is likely something else that is running through Scrivener. Likewise you have a contextual menu plug-in from the application iGetter that is causing problems.

Something you can do to confirm this is to reboot the computer in safe mode and run Scrivener alone for a while with nothing else running but Finder. If the problem vanishes then odds are very high it’s some old driver or program you have installed.
